Chemical
Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge
of mathematics, chemistry, and the other natural
sciences gained by study, experience, and practice
is applied with judgment to develop economic ways
of using materials and energy for the benefit
of mankind. The program required for the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
provides fundamental instruction in mathematics,
chemistry, physics, and engineering. This education
prepares the graduate to seek employment in petroleum
refineries, the manufacturing of synthetic fibers,
steel mills, paper mills, ore processing, plastics,
and pharmaceuticals. Also, he or she may be found
in related areas of design, nuclear energy, and
pollution abatement, as well as management. If
the graduate prefers, he or she is adequately
prepared to pursue additional studies in a graduate
program.

Chemical
engineering students are required to take the
Chemical Engineering discipline specific Fundamentals
of Engineering examination of Alabama or another
state prior to graduation. All electives must
be approved by the students advisor. Degree
requirements include a minimum of 18 semester
hours of approved electives in the Humanities
and Social Sciences.

Satisfactory
completion of the 128 hour program outlined below
leads to a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.
Students must also comply with the College
of Engineering Requirements for a Degree which
are covered in the Bulletin
under College of Engineering.

Program
Educational Objectives Produce Graduates who:


Are prepared to begin working in an environment
that requires problem solving skills, often utilizing
a team based approach.
 Can apply technical knowledge that is fundamental
to the practice of chemical engineering, using
techniques, skills and modern engineering tools
as appropriate.



Have
strength in the application of modern computational
techniques to the solution of chemical engineering
problems.



As
an emphasis, are prepared to function as
a chemical engineer in the traditional chemical
and petroleum process industries, especially
in the Gulf Coast region.

Realize
the importance of the continual development
of knowledge and skills after graduation.



Have
an education that prepares them for a productive
and rewarding life, including an appreciation
for professional, business and ethical responsibilities.

The
Bachelor of Science program in Chemical Engineering
is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050,
Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.

MASTER
OF SCIENCE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

A
Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering
is offered requiring advanced course work in core
areas of chemical engineering such as separations,
reactor design, and thermodynamics. The student
is offered a wide latitude in choosing electives
to build expertise in associated areas such as
computer science and waste treatment. Students
with chemistry backgrounds can qualify for admission
by taking a prescribed series of undergraduate
courses. See degree
requirements.
